Finally, in this release we are displaying tapeworm RNASeq data for the species Echinococcus granulosus, Echinococcus multilocularis and Hymenolepis microstoma (as example). We will be including more transcriptomic data sets in upcoming ParaSite releases so if you would like to suggest datasets you would like to see displayed please get in touch!

This release also includes a new data-mining tool, the WormBase ParaSite BioMart. The interface and underlying software for this are based on the Ensembl BioMart, the main difference being that WormBase ParaSite BioMart collects data for all species into a single underlying database. This means that a single query can be used to filter and report data from multiple species at once, for example all species of a given taxonomic clade.
